While L Brands (NYSE:LB) stock, a women’s intimate apparel, personal care, and beauty products retailer, has rallied by a solid 18% over the last 10 trading days – driven by its better-than-expected Q3 momentum – but has declined by around 3% over the last 5 trading days. In comparison, the broader S&P 500 returned almost flat growth over the last 5 trading days. Now, is L Brands stock poised to decline further? We believe the company remains fundamentally overvalued, trading at about 14x consensus 2021 earnings, and the company’s stock could decline going forward. Specifically, there is a 53% chance of a drop in L Brands stock over the next month (21 trading days) based on our machine learning analysis of trends in the stock price over the last 5 years.
